ryan and romney represent a different approach. and i think there's this mantra you guys almost sound like you're an extension of the obama campaign. the ryan/romney plan empowers middle class americans to get a job. when they get a job, their income goes up. they pay more taxes. they are independent. they're able to live their own lives. obama worries about student loans. none of those students are going get any jobs under obama. ryan and romney are worried about getting jobs for those studentses so they can pay off the obama loans. i think this is a a fundamentally different model. i know everybody in the media wants to rush down and narrow it to one point. how long are we going to tolerate a president who makes the poorest americans more unemployed? who pushes more poor americans on to food stamps? and who eliminates hope for minorities? and that's the barack obama record after four years. >> i suppose the only point i'd say in return to that, mr. speaker, apart from the fact we're way too disorganized to all get together and pl

romney has 28% at his highest. ryan supported 25%. you know, this is seen, mary, potentially as a bonanza for rich people if the republicans are elected. what do you say about that? >> i say that that's a false description in that what obama is saying why he would tax the so-called upper brackets is to reduce the deficit or to pay for programs. we don't need to expand government anymore. that's part of the problem. all that would raise what obama's tax plan is $30 billion over 11 years, which is $3 billion a year. we spend $10 billion a day. so romney and ryan have a real plan. it will really reduce the deficit, restructure the debt. it's tax and regulatory reform. and it will get the economy going. >> but it's true, rich people at the highest brackets, mary -- then i'm going to bring donna in, they would go from what is now 35%, the president wants to raise it to 39.6%. but under romney's plan, let's forget about ryan for a moment, it goes down to 28%, meaning as far as income tax rates, there's going to be a bonanza for rich people

unfortunately, the burden is on romney and ryan. we already know what to expect with biden and with obama. but unfortunately, romney and ryan have the burden to say we can change the trajectory of the conversation of what's going on in the country and do it well, and that didn't happen with clarity and conviction last night. >> i half agree with carol on that point. but the other part of the equation -- >> i don't think you can agree with that point, because the only poll i have seen about undecided was done by any major network was cbs and it was pretty clear who won the debate amongst uncommitted voters, ryan 31%, biden 50%. he smashed him which was my reading of it in the moment. >> look, people are voting right now in ohio. so if you've made up your mind in ohio and you watched last night's debate, you were energized and went out to the polls and voted, that makes an impact on the election. governor romney can't win without ohio. there are, there is a narrow sliver of voters that are still in play in some of these states. i thin
